Brian Young’s Description:
Edward Hordern IPP Puzzle Exchange – Paris, France in August 2017
“Designed A collaborative effort by William Hu, Junichi Yananose, Brian Young. Presented by Jerry Slocum. Made by Mr Puzzle.
The stated object of the puzzle is: Place all 6 pieces in the frame with the car engraving up, so that no piece can slide within the frame; even when the frame is shaken side to side. And now we’ve added other challenges for you as well.
When the puzzle is solved there should be slight movement of the pieces in the frame but they will not slide freely around the frame. When briskly shaken they will not slip and slide loosely around the frame. There will be some movement though just because of the variation in the cast acrylic pieces.
Jamming the pieces into the frame using force is not the intended solution. Like most puzzles, force is not the answer.
This one has really caused some discussion since IPP that’s for sure! There have been many proposed solutions; some very good, some very imaginative, others that are just plain hopeful! There have also been puzzlers who’ve come up with potential solutions involving less pieces. So we’ve now updated the original label and stated goal for the puzzle to include this extra challenge.”
Size: The frame is 118mm x 88mm x 6mm
The puzzle is made from 6mm acrylic and is packaged with a printed solution is included.
I’m in Pittsburgh and I got a lot of puzzles! Mint condition. I always take perfect care of each and every one of my puzzles. If it is labeled as brand new it is brand new. Some puzzles I have some multiples. Some puzzles are super rare. Some puzzles are classics. Some of my listings aren’t even Puzzles. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. Feel free to make an offer. I value these puzzles and I hope you will too. I feel all prices are fair but I’m always willing to haggle within reason. LowBall offers will be immediately declined. If you need any help with solving a puzzle reach out. If the puzzle came with a solution it will be included. I have solved thousands of puzzles. Also, if you’re looking for specific puzzles, just ask and I’ll see what I can do. Thank you very much for your business. Puzzles have helped me a lot in my life and I hope they’ll do the same for you.
Lastly: 9 times out of 10 - if you place an order before 2 PM eastern I’ll get it mailed out that day. And then Saturdays before 11 AM eastern. But don’t hold me to it. I will go to the post office typically 5 of 6 days their open. I’ll always ship at least within 48 hours. I ship with Usps. But if you want a different service or upgraded shipping I can accommodate. I sometimes drop off a lot of packages at once so they don’t always scan them until they move to the next destination. So it may take an extra day or two for tracking to update. I suggest to copy and paste tracking into google. If it’s over 1lb it’s shipped priority. If it’s under 50$ or you make an offer for less than the listed price and it goes below 50$ it’s shipped first class. I include free shipping with all of my listings. If you want priority shipping don’t make an offer. Buy it at the listed price. So please take that into consideration. And I know the listings are marked as no returns accepted. But if there is something wrong I will for sure accept your return. Please do not break a puzzle and then expect a refund. Also no buy, solve, returns. Contact me the day you received it if there is a problem. Don’t wait 2 weeks and then contact me. I also do not collect your tax dollars. eBay keeps that. And, eBay isn’t free. I pay a lot to sell on eBay. Like, seriously a lot. I cover all of the PayPal fees. I buy all the boxes, bags, paper, tape, labels, printer ink, bubble wrap, ect.. All of this is taken into consideration when pricing. I am a private seller. I make very little using eBay. Just enough to cover the fees and buy a puzzle or two. This isn’t paying my bills. I still have a job. Although I am working on a website and purchasing wholesale so I can offer better prices and supply puzzles that you would typically have to buy from across seas. This was a hobby that has now gotten out of control. Once again, keep in mind I’m one person. It’s just me. I will do my very best to answer all messages and treat you as I would expect to be treated. Thanks so much to everyone for all of the support. Just living my best life because my previous life I made a lot of questionable choices. But I really enjoy puzzles. So thanks again and keep on puzzling puzzle people!! Furthermore, I’m constantly adding to this personal description of mine. But I like to be as descriptive as possible. If I list a difficulty rating, the rating is opinion based. And it’s not always my opinion. It may be based off of the manufactures opinion or another puzzle distributors opinion. But myself personally, I have struggled with level six puzzles. Then in return I have solved level 10 puzzles in five minutes before. If you are a novice in the puzzle game, message me. Please ask questions. I am always more than willing to help. I am not responsible for your personal solving experience. Everybody is different. But please do understand that I sell puzzles not wow! factors. I hope I don’t sound Jaded. But I have been put through the ringer dealing with some people here on eBay. But I very much enjoy being able to supply people with some fun puzzles. So if you don’t know what you’re buying please just message me and ask any and all questions. Once again thank you so very much to all the great people that have supported my store. Puzzle! Puzzle! Puzzle! Yay!
